Armitron Sport Men's 406623 Chronograph Round Gray and Black Nylon Strap Digital Watch

Every other year for Christmas I buy my husband a cheap watch. (well along with other stuff and he likes cheap watches, he does't have to worry about breaking them, if they break no big deal so don't judge me on this) He still likes to wear a watch and he has several requirements, it must be digital,(he likes to know the time to the minute even though he sets it 7 minutes fast) it must light up (because you never know when you might want to know the time in the middle of the night), it must be water resistant (I don't think that part of his arm has ever been clean since they invented water resistant watches, never takes it off ot shower) and it must have a velcro band ( buckle bands make you choose a hole and expandable bands trap hairs and that hurts). This one has all that. I was a little bit skeptical at first after reading the reviews about how much trouble people had setting the watch but I didn't tell my husband it was supposed to be hard (expecting an entertaining Christmas day with too much cussing and eventually the watch being thrown into the ocean) but he had no trouble setting it up (and this is a man that can't use a smart phone). He is brutal on watches and this one has held up beautifully, the watch is working fine but the velcro is starting to wear out so I will probably get him another one this year for Christmas, yes, I could just buy him a new watch band but I think he would have a harder time trying to change that out than setting a new watch. Oh wait, maybe he will just get a new watch band, gotta get the video camera ready in case something goes in the ocean :)

Upon receiving my watch in a timely manner, I took the watch out of the box, obtained the instructions which are hidden inside the watch stand it was sitting on/attached to, and set it up with no problems. The velcro strap fit nice. I have a large wrist and sometimes watches that I purchase barely fit. This watch would fit a 8.75 to a 9.00 inch wrist fairly easy. This watch has a green luminescent digital face and at some angles it is difficult to read in really dark light, but I had no trouble reading it under dim bedroom light. Of course you can't read any watch in the dark without pressing the night light button on the watch, duh!!! I have not been a big fan of digital watches until the mid to late 90's. Now I would not have anything else. This is a great everyday watch or work watch. It's tough, takes a pretty good lick and keeps on going too. The watch is somewhat quirky and harder to set than other digital watches, but it's not really worth complaining about. Anyone can set it, even me. It's also light weight and feels really good on after minor adjustments to the velcro strap. I liked this one so good I purchased another one to put up when I wear this one out, but I can already tell that this watch will last many years unless you take it off, set it on a tree stump, and smash it with a sledge hammer, and you can say that about any watch. I just want to say that I own 20 to 30 Casio digital watches and 4 Armitron digital watches (I'm a collector), and the Casio watches are absolutely no better than this watch. I give this watch 5-Stars easy. I purchased mine right here on good old Amazon.com.

I bought this watch because I wanted a basic beater watch. However, it quickly became my favorite time piece! It’s lightweight, easy to read, incredibly comfortable on the wrist, and it has a really cool backlight that is very similar to the timex indiglo. It does what I need a Watch to do, no more, no less. It tells me the time ( with a cool retro screen), tells me the day and date (with a momentary button down on the lower right hand side), it has one alarm ( I only get up once), end it has a basic stopwatch. The stopwatch has no lap/ split function like every other digital watch in my collection but I’ve never used that function so who needs it! All of the buttons have protectors that prevent you from inadvertently activating them. I would have given this watch a five star rating, however, the Velcro strap that it came with was so low quality but the first time I broke into a sweat it all but disintegrated. But for the money, you just can’t beat this Armitron jewel!

a great watch at a budget price. Rugged, waterproof and easy to slip on and off with the velcro strap. Its a basic watch, nothing fancy, its just here to get the job done. I've worn it a few days in a row without taking off, walked through rainstorms and thick brush and it still works. Even swam across a few lakes with no signs of failure, although it didn't go deeper than ten feet at most. Buttons have guards on the sides to keep you from accidentally hitting them. Only problem I've had with it is at one part of the strap the back part is starting to peel off but its cosmetic at worst and I have no doubt that it'll stay on until I'm the one that takes it off at the end of the day. Plus it adds character and can be worn as a badge of honor so you can turn up your nose at the guys babying their fancy 300 dollar watches buy it, it'll outlast you

I wanted the green tint on the display, instead got the boring gray tint 😒 Watch is nice, amazon needs to update the photo.

I've had this watch for about a week now. I have an addiction for inexpensive digital watches, they are what I had back in the 80s and I still love them. I have seven other digital watches including two other Armitrons. This watch keeps the best time of any Armitron or Casio I have. It keeps time just as good as a $75 Timex Expedition which really surprised me. The watch is very light weight, the band is velcro but I find it comfortable to wear. I don't even know it's on my wrist. It has limited features but that's to be expected in this price point. I'm wearing this watch the most right now, it keeps great time and has that 80s look that I love.

I'm not usually a fan of wearing extra items while working out, but I was getting a little tired of my phone being covered in sweat and grime. I purchased this watch so that I could keep track of time without having to worry about destroying my phone. This watch is now my go to time piece any time I need an eye on the clock while performing physical activity. The velcro strap is easy to adjust and so far has survived many buckets of sweat poured into it. The buttons are a little stiff and difficult to depress while the watch is on a wrist, but not unreasonably so. I currently wear it for cycling, running, and weight lifting workouts as well as a few camping trips. The strap is long enough that I can wear the watch higher on my arm so that it's not digging into my wrists. The watch is also very lightweight and I hardly notice it's there after a while. It has also survived many gym and camp showers with no issue.

Not as good as the original pictured on Amazon. The letters on the one I received are bigger and of a different font and look tacky. I ended up removing the big"INSTALITE and 235m" using Goo Gone and a Q-tip and a lot of rubbing(approx 7 mins to be exact). Another missing feature is the Reflective Green screen background that is seen in the pics, the watch now has a regular grayish background. Overall a nice retro cheap watch that can take a beating. Just wish they would have kept it like the original one. Amazon needs to update the pics.
